WRW is happy to once again join the UFO Festival for the 8th year. This year’s show brings Joseph Medinaâ€™s (whose rendition of The Thing at a previous UFO Fest was chilling) amazing continuation of the Doctor Who saga. With an original score by James Dineen, live Foley by David Ian and Dino de AElfweald (with assistance from Toni Lima and Amy Branson) as well as live sound from D. Neil Blake, Robert Kowal and the otherworldly audio assistance of Marc Rose.

Our special thanks go out to Claudine Knapp and Martin John Gallagher, our Resident Sound Designer and all round swell guy.

One of the greatest heroes in all of science fiction is coming to the McMenamins UFO Festival next month!Â Author of “The Thing,” a smash hit at the 2008 UFO Festival,Â Afterhell‘s own Joe Medina returns to WRW with a script featuring a new incarnation of the mysterious traveling Time Lord known only as “the Doctor.”
